What have you learnt today?

Oh dear, it sounds as if you haven't spotted pages 2 and 3.....

I just noticed that again.   lol...

Not me, I have a tablet for that.

I find that, a little bit myself. With me, I think it is often getting distracted and trying to handle too many things at once. It helps me when I break off and keep things simple for a while.

I'll try.

That's a good point. Low iron does cause fatigue, and the fact is that women are more inclined to it. My levels are fine.

No, I'm not keen either. Mostly I don't have fizzy drinks like that anyway although I did buy a big bottle of dandelion and burdock for Christmas.

Did you know that coca cola is the top selling soft fizzy drink in every single country in the whole world?

Except one, there they drink more Irn Bru.

UImmm... I wonder where that could be. 

I learnt the existence of these warped saying. The "Confucius say jokes." 

I didn't know the Confucius satire until yesterday on Dear Diary. Primarily, the reason of my asking if it's a kinda joke/satire was because I didn't want to come across arrogant by pointing out that it was very unlikely that Confucius said something like that about women. So, I researched this famous (in particular countries) one liner joke/s.  I found out that it all started way back in 1930s from an American newspaper columnist, picked up by American radio hosts, then it did spread to lots of people since then. It's about comedy, right? But, even if it's comedy, I am curious about the motivation at that time. This is the comedy stuff that I won't use myself nor promote. 

I see. Maybe, I’m boring or I don’t know a better term for it. I came across this crude joke, “Confucius says women to be good should be able to do all house chores, dishes and 69.” That’s so misogynistic and when one’s from other culture who are brought up and follow Confucius teachings, this type of humour is so demeaning. To include Confucius in that kind of joke is even appalling and ignorant. The more I read about its origin and pervasiveness in a particular society, the more I ask why it has been tolerated. I’m sure even Trump’s followers would react aggressively if someone starts this humour “Trump says…” I wonder what could be the repercussions.

I found many and that was one example that made my blood boiled. The one I shared came from this. It appears that one can say anything, harmless or not, and attribute it to "Confucius says..."
